From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am perpetually disappointed by both Windows and the various flavors of Linux.
The difference is: there's relatively little you can do to "fix" Windows when you really need to. When Linux is broken, it may be a lot of work, but the option to fix it as you believe it should work is always there...
